So we got 2 Alexander the Great movies coming out, according to imdb.com. One stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Nicole Kidman, and the other stars Colin Farrel, plus Anothony Hopkins and Angelina Jolie. So my question is... what's the deal? How could two companies come out with, essentially, the same damn movie? Isn't that just terribly bad for business? It'd be like having 2 versions of the Grapes of Wrath coming out at the same time or something. Is the demand for Greek/Roman epic movies that high? I know that they're coming out with Troy (which sounds great! http://imdb.com/Title?0332452), and everyone loves epics now after LOTR and Gladiator and whatnot, but this still seems pretty crappy to me. Who do you think will be the better?

You've got a bracket in your link which is leading to an error page.

That is pretty stupid. Whoever releases their movie first will have a distinct advantage. I probably won't see either one, as I dislike both Leonard DiCaprio and Colin Farrel.
